Easy Christmas Activities for Toddlers

Are you getting in the Christmas spirit? I can’t wait! Christmas activities for toddlers don’t have to be complicated or expensive. If you are looking for great toddler activities for your Christmas party or toddler classroom I have a bunch of great ideas for you. I teach at a Lutheran preschool so we do all kinds of Christmas activities, I’ve compiled some of my favorite nativity activities, Christmas crafts for toddlers, and early learning activities with a Christmas spin all in one place.
